Lincoln addresses large audience at Concert Hall. Council Bluffs
"Nonpareil" comments: "The clear and lucid manner, in which he set
forth the true principles of the Republican party—the dexterity
with which he applied the political scalpel to the Democratic
carcass—beggars all description at our hands." Following
Lincoln, Judge Test of Council Bluffs, formerly of Indiana, speaks,
followed by reception at home of W. H. M. Pusey, which virtually
everyone in town attends.
